🛑 Volunteer Conduct & Clinical Boundaries
As a volunteer, your role is strictly observational. You will not provide direct patient care or medical intervention. All clinical experiences will be under the direct supervision of a licensed local healthcare professional.
🔒 Why This Matters:
Respecting patient safety, local laws, and medical regulations is not just important—it’s essential. We are guests in a host healthcare system, and professionalism is non-negotiable.
📵 No Devices During Clinical & Volunteer Activities
To ensure respect, privacy, and focus, phones, cameras, and recording devices are strictly prohibited during the following:
During these moments, devices must remain stored and silenced. You may use personal devices only during free time, and never within or near patient care areas or volunteer events.
📸 Want photos?
We’ve got you covered! Group leaders will help coordinate photo opportunities during appropriate times and locations—with permission—focused on your experience with fellow volunteers (not patients or clinical settings).
🙅♂️ Social Media & Privacy
Please do not post photos, videos, or recordings from any healthcare facility, training, or service activity. This includes:
⚠️ Always ask before capturing or sharing.
We want you to remember your experience—the right way.
⚖️ Legal & Ethical Boundaries for All Volunteers
Even if a licensed U.S. provider is present with your group (and one will be), your scope of practice as a foreign volunteer is extremely limited. This policy protects you, the patients, and the integrity of the program.
✅ All volunteers must sign a formal acknowledgment of these guidelines before departure.
🚨 Violation of these policies can lead to:
❤️ Thank You for Upholding These Standards
By honoring these policies, you demonstrate professionalism, respect, and cultural humility—qualities that define the very best future healthcare providers.

🌍✨ Travel Insurance Commitment & Participant Agreement
At HELP2SERVE.CARE, your safety, well-being, and peace of mind are our top priorities. To ensure a secure and successful experience abroad, all participants are required to carry specific travel insurance. This agreement outlines what is needed and how we can support you in making sure you’re covered.
1. ✅ What You’re Required to Have
Before participating, you must purchase a travel insurance policy that includes at least the following:
• Trip Cancellation Protection – to help recover expenses if you’re unable to attend for an unexpected reason
• Emergency Medical & Evacuation Coverage – to support you in case of illness or injury
• Coverage for All Adventure Activities In Your Specific Program Plan – your adventure tour part of your program plan typically will include activities like ziplining, rafting, surfing, kayaking, or similar activities, (see your specific program plan of choice which will list all your adventure activities). Please know your policy must include coverage for all the adventure activities in your specific program plan. Please check the details with your chosen insurance provider when purchasing your plan and know most plans do not automatically cover all activities and often you will have to add/purchase additional “riders” for adventure activities.
• Medical Insurance – valid throughout your entire time abroad, covering clinic or hospital visits, illness, and emergencies
Your coverage must begin at least before or on the day you depart and end after you return home, fully covering your immersion experience dates.
2. 📄 What You Will Need to Submit
To keep everything smooth and secure:
• No less than 30 days prior to your departure date you will be required to upload a copy or clear photo of your insurance confirmation (showing your name, policy number, and provider)
• Please remember to carry a digital or printed copy of your policy with you during your entire immersion experience.
These steps are required for participation and help ensure your safety.
3. 🤝 Your Responsibility
By joining HELP2SERVE.CARE immersion experience program, you agree to:
• Purchase and maintain the required travel insurance
• Confirm that your policy meets the minimum standards
• Understand that HELP2SERVE.CARE does not provide insurance and is not liable for uncovered costs
• Accept that failure to provide proof of insurance may result in removal from the program
We’re happy to answer any questions or guide you through your options!!!
4. 🧳 Strongly Recommended Coverage
In addition to the required coverage listed above, we highly recommend you include:
• Baggage Loss or Theft Coverage
• Baggage Delay Reimbursement
• Trip Delay or Interruption Coverage
• Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)
• Repatriation of Remains
• 24/7 Travel Assistance Services
And please know:
Travel insurance won’t cover every situation. Common exclusions include:
5. ❤️ Health Insurance vs. Travel Insurance
Most domestic health plans do not cover international care. That’s why dedicated travel insurance is required—it’s designed to protect you from the unexpected while you’re abroad.
6. 🌐 Where to Get Covered
You’re free to choose your own provider. Below is a list of several travel insurance companies and please know there are many more options to choose from, beyond those on this list:
You can also:
• Consult a local travel agent
• Speak with your university or study abroad advisor
• Compare options using online travel insurance marketplaces
💡 Pro Tip: For full cancellation coverage, many providers require that your policy be purchased within 14 days of making your program deposit.
✅ Final Reminder
We want you to feel safe, supported, and prepared for a life-changing journey. Travel insurance is more than a requirement—it’s a smart and protective investment in your health, trip, and peace of mind.
If you have questions or want help choosing the right policy, we’re here for you!
Please know, no less than 30 days before departure you will be required to sign a confirmation agreement related to the travel insurance requirements. See below for an example of an agreement you will be required to sign 30 days prior to your trip departure.
✍️ Confirmation & Agreement
I understand the insurance requirements outlined above. By signing below I am confirming I have obtained and will carry the required policy. I accept full responsibility for my insurance choices and release HELP2SERVE.CARE from liability related to incomplete or invalid coverage.
